The 2011 Print Awards is an open submission prize for British and international printmakers which encourages a broad spectrum of artists to gain exposure and exhibit with other leading artists in their field. The 2011 Print Awards is the centrepiece of the 2011 International Print Biennale.
The International Print Biennale was created by Northern Print in 2009 as the first major project in the UK for 20 years concentrated on the diversity of contemporary printmaking. The aim is to reward and promote excellence through showcasing the very best in new British and international printmaking through an extensive programme in Newcastle Gateshead of exhibitions, events, activities and an international symposium.
